Then you are an intolerant extremist who would impose your religious beliefs on others? Why would you want to be an extremist? Good religious people never impose their religious beliefs on another person. If the church says no abortion, then you can chose to have or not have one per your religious beliefs. But when the Church says no abortion and therefore you impose that church doctrine on another, then you become satanic. Once the pope orders lawmakers to impose church doctrine into US laws, then the pope is satanic - or just made a big mistake.
That is the OP. Trenton bishop is doing what the Pope has ordered. Pope wants power to make US laws. Violation even of the basic principles of religion - a relationship between one man and his god.
Believe what you want about your god and your church. It is your right. However once your religion says how another may act, then that doctrine even violates and attacks the principles on which the United States of America was founded and the US Constitution was written.
